David Purdy & Elizabeth Wood (1780 - 1872) NY, OH, IN
I have posted my PURDY family tree at http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/ with the hope that anyone with corrections or additional information will contact me. Surnames include CARTER, CASE, CLARK, DANN, FERRELL, HEES, HICKS, HOLDEN, HOLLCRAFT, JEWELL, KUTZ, LUDDINGTON, MAKYSE, McKENZIE, NEALON, PHIPPIN, SEWALL, SMITH, WELLER AND WOOD. County locations include Onondaga (NY) and Clinton (IN). In the 1880 census, I found William JEWELL listed as a cousin living with Albert PURDY in Fowler, Indiana. This small bit of information allowed me to connect my New York lineage to the Indiana lineage and come up with a common ancestor, David PURDY.
